Master Su was happy: "Then I can eat more!" ”

said to eat more, but in fact, he didn't eat much, like an old man like Master Su, he couldn't eat much, in fact, he ate a little less than he usually ate, and the pancakes were only half eaten, but soy milk and bacon were eaten.

After finishing eating, Master Su said goodbye to everyone, and then staggered out of the store and walked towards his house.

Wang Ba sent out the door with a smile, and after a look, two men who were eating fried dough sticks and tofu brains at the stall stood up, threw two copper coins on the table, got up and left.

Xiao Er chased him out and shouted, "Guest officer, the money you gave is not enough!" ”

"Less verbose, that's all, too little, right? Look at this, how much? The man who pushed a big bald head pulled out the waist knife he was carrying, and scolded the little two viciously.

The little two were so frightened that he hurriedly took two steps back and didn't dare to speak again.

Wang Ba hurriedly walked over, arched his hand to the two men, and said with a smile: "Two good men, good man, this kid is not sensible, don't be like him!" I'm invited to this meal today, and you two will eat well next time! ”

As he spoke, he stuffed back the few copper coins that he had just lost.

The man smiled, stretched out his hand and nodded at Wang Ba: "You kid is sensible!" ”

With that, the two men got into the carriage and left.

The direction of going is exactly the same as that of Master Su.

The boundary where Master Su lives is in an alley in Andingmen. From the street, but you have to pass through a small alley, this alley is the back wall of the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and the right side of the courtyard wall of the right of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, which is formed in the middle, and no one passes through it.

Master Su was walking gracefully, but suddenly he heard a rolling carriage from behind, and he hurriedly avoided it to the right. The sound of the carriage was getting closer and closer, but Master Su suddenly heard a whistling wind, and then felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. Immediately afterward, it was dark and unconscious.

The bald man jumped out of the carriage. picked up Master Su, who had fainted on the ground, and jumped into the carriage quickly.

The carriage continued to move and rolled away.

Master Su has been lost since then.

No one saw it.

And Wang Ba continued to run his small shop, and as time went by, there were fewer and fewer people eating in the morning, and business slowly cooled down.

A small shop like his should be closed now, because it is only a business for breakfast, and lunch and dinner. It's all not involved.

When it was almost noon, Wang Ba was also about to close the door, and the catastrophe outside had already brought in, and the old oil that had been fried once in the pot was poured into the big urn, and the oil. Ming'er can still use it, those tables, chairs and benches have been carried in, and a few guys have already carried the door panel over to get ready to go up.

At this time, Wang Ba's eyes shrank suddenly, and his hands clutched the oily rag in his hand, and the whole person trembled with excitement.

He saw a group of people.

There were about twenty people in this group. They are all men between the ages of twenty and thirty, and their physiques are very strong, although they are sitting on horses, their waists are straight, their faces are fierce, their eyes are sharp, although they are not wearing armor, but they are exuding a sword-like fierce and fierce temperament, just like a sharp knife out of the sheath!

Obviously, these people have seen blood on their hands, and they are either bandits or officers and soldiers! …,

And how can the officers and soldiers be so sneaky, I am afraid that these people are even more likely to be bandits.

Their faces were quite dusty, obviously in a hurry, and they were also full of exhaustion.

It's just that the boss of the king, when he saw them, he was full of excitement, and there was a touch of cordiality in his heart.

At that moment, he walked to the side of the road in small steps, made the appearance of soliciting business, shook the white towel in his hand, and shouted at the men who were slowly riding their horses: "Old and young masters, do you want to stop and eat some meat and vegetables and drink some hot tea?" ”

The man in the lead thought that this was a business, and waved his hand angrily, so he wanted to refuse, but when his eyes saw Wang Ba's face, he suddenly showed a look like he had seen a ghost, but he was able to get to this point, and he was also quite a scheming person, with the same look on his face fleeting, and a faint expression on his face, he said: "This journey is also tired, so let's rest!" ”

Saying that, everyone got off the horse, Wang Ba hurriedly beckoned Xiao Er to lead the horses aside to get some water to serve, and then led these men to the house and sat down, more than twenty people, and immediately filled this small shop.

Seeing that those guys were busy serving the horses, as soon as Wang Ba closed the door of the store, the leading man immediately stood up, patted Wang Ba's shoulder heavily, his face was full of forcibly suppressed joy, and said in a deep voice: "Old Wang Ba, how did you become so virtuous?" ”

Wang Ba also grabbed his arm with laughter and said, "How strong can you be three fools?" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, extremely happy.

He was ordered by Lian Zining to lead his troops to rush through the starry night, hundreds of miles a day, hurrying slowly, and finally arrived in Beijing today, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in Beijing, he met an unexpected person - Wang Ba!

Speaking of which, the way this Wang Ba came from is also extraordinary, he joined the Wu Yi Army in Beidaying, Leling County, Shandong, after several wars in the Northeast, the battle is also quite brave, and has made a lot of achievements, and when MI6 was established, it was already ranked in Dong Ce's position of the third guard of 100 households, and later MI6 selected people within the whole army, this person seems to be honest, but in fact, his heart is very fine, and his loyalty is enough, so he was selected.

He and Wang Posan are colleagues, plus they are of the same sex, so the relationship between the two is very good, and Wang Ba has also performed a lot of tasks, and his merits have risen to 100 households-this 100 households. It's not easy at all to come from a hundred households in the army.

But then one day, Wang Ba and the elite under him disappeared, and Li Tie just said that they went on a secret mission. Wang Posan didn't dare to ask more, but he had this question in his heart, but he didn't expect that today he was here, and old friends were reunited!

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while. They each talked about their experiences after separation. It turned out that during this period of time, Lian Zining considered that Liu Liangchen's manpower under the capital was also quite insufficient, so he selected a group of elite generals such as Wang Ba. Sent to the capital, all actions are under the command of Liu Liangchen.

This for a while. But I really did a lot of things with Liu Liangchen.

The two of them said their own words, this is how they know that the two of them are actually on the same path, Wang Ba smiled: "This time, I'm afraid that I will have to do things with you, three fools, unlucky!" ”

Talking about bad luck in his mouth, with a smile on his face, where is there a half reluctant look?

Wang Posan was naturally not to be outdone, and he also hurt him for a while, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Those people outside, are they reliable?" ”…,

"In this kind of territory. Can you still use outsiders? Wang Ba smiled: "But those cadres under my command are all competent, Liu Zhenfu transferred them to their respective affairs, these brothers are all from the Jingnan camp." is also able to take responsibility and dare to do anything! ”

"Oh, the patronizer is talking to you about the old days, and I forgot about business!" Wang Posan slapped his thigh: "Uncle told me to go to see Liu Zhenfu as soon as I arrived in the capital, wait for the dispatch, and the secret letter will be delivered!" There's no time to lose! ”

Wang Ba also stood up. Said: "Just you are so swaggering? That's not going to happen! Let's go, I'll take you out of the city, let's go to the east of the city to bypass, although it is a little farther, but it is safe. It's not peaceful in the city these days! ”

"How?" Wang Posan asked eagerly.

The big thing he wanted to do was greatly influenced by these factors.

Wang Ba said: "A few days ago, the saint vomited blood, rumors spread in Beijing, and the people were panicked, no, Jinyiwei found out, saying that behind these rumors, there are cults and chaotic parties instigating support, and ordering all provinces, capitals, prefectures and counties across the country to strictly investigate, and at the foot of the Son of Heaven in the capital, it is naturally the same!" ”

Wang Posan listened and thought thoughtfully.

Soon, it was time for the group to change their outfits and go out of the city, and under the leadership of Wang Ba, they made a big circle, went around the city from the east city, and went straight to the camp in Jingnan!

When the time came, the Jingnan camp was already in sight, and when everyone arrived at the gate of the camp, they were naturally stopped by the veterans who were guarding, and they didn't dare to break in - these are all seniors in the army, don't look at the old soldiers here now, drinking water all day long, chatting and farting, and there is no rank of military rank, let alone any power, but in fact, which of these people is not an old pawn who participated in the Jingnan camp, and now most of the high-level people in the Wuyi army are their former comrades and brothers, who can speak. If you offend them, you don't know how many people can be implicated, and you don't know how to die when the time comes.

Fortunately, Wang Ba was very familiar with the head, so he dismounted and said: "Please also report to Liu Zhenfu Liu, we have something important to talk about, it is someone from the north." ”

"From the north?" The old army didn't dare to slack off, and hurried to Tongbing, but it was just a cup of tea, and the old army hurried back, followed by a large group of people, and the one who led the way was actually to pacify Liu Liangchen.

After a long time, he has become a lot haggard, his beard is unkempt, his eyes are bloodshot, and he doesn't know how many times he hasn't been able to sleep well.

It was impossible for him to get a good night's sleep, and he had been frightened because of something like that a while ago, and he didn't know what Lian Zining would do with himself. I finally started to rectify the Sun family, and I was finally able to take a bad breath, and by the way, I could divert my attention, but I didn't expect that a few days ago, Mrs. suddenly spoke, and the Sun Mansion had almost been rectified, so stop!

Liu Liangchen and the others naturally didn't dare not listen, so they had to stop, but in their hearts, they were really depressed.

Today's lady came to study military affairs, as soon as Liu Liangchen heard that someone from the north was coming, he was immediately excited, and immediately rushed over, he waited for a day, it was really a long time.

Seeing Liu Liangchen coming, everyone saluted and claimed to have seen Lord Liu.

"That's it, that's it!" Liu Liangchen waved his hand and asked hurriedly, "Where are the people from the north?" ”

Wang Posan said: "Calm down the adults, the last general is." ”

Liu Liangchen walked quickly in front of him and said eagerly: "You came from the north?" Did you tell me anything? ”

"Yes. Naturally, there is. It's just ......" Wang Po looked at it three or four times, and said in a deep voice, his face a little embarrassed. …,

"Look at me!" Liu Liangchen was excited, confused, patted his head, and said, "Go, you." And Wang Ba, you two, let's go in and talk! ”

Let's talk about it. He pointed to the group of people under Wang Posan's hands, and instructed the veterans on the side: "These brothers, settle down." and it was placed in the barracks of the 300th house. That's right."

He paused and said lightly: "There is no need to disturb Madame about this matter, no one is allowed to reveal it, understand?" ”

Everyone was awe-struck and responded in unison: "Understood! Liu Liangchen learned the previous lesson, for fear that Lian Zining would give any more instructions, and he would be intervened by Dai Qinglan, he was not on guard against Dai Zhangpu, but he didn't want to do anything. It's very uncomfortable to be fingered on the head and can't stretch out.

I just didn't let her know!

Liu Liangchen and the three of them went all the way to his mansion and entered the main hall, and Liu Liangchen closed the door. Wang Posan took out Lian Zining's handwriting from his sleeve, crushed the wax pill, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Liu, this is the letter that Uncle General has instructed to bring to you. ”

Liu Liangchen was inexplicably stunned, he took a deep breath, and this was a deep bend down. With his hands in flat and his expression in the middle, he took the thin silk silk like a courtier receiving the emperor's holy decree.

When Liu Liangchen took the letter, his fingers trembled slightly, his mind was hot, his eyes were a little red, and what he was most afraid of was to see that the adults would reprimand him, and then order someone to replace all his power. He gasped for breath and finally shook off the silk in his hand.

Familiar handwriting, beautiful willow body jumped into view, he first read it roughly, and then carefully read it from beginning to end without pulling a word, at this time, the expression on his face has also changed from heavy and worried to relieved, relaxed, but also faintly grateful. And by the time he read through it again, it had already become thoughtful.

is a scheming person like Liu Liangchen, who can't control the changes in his feelings at this time, he suddenly? It was the extremely happy Yang Tian who laughed out loud, looking very comfortable, and swept away the previous haze. It's like a clerk who does something wrong, not only is he punished, but he is rewarded with appreciation.

Wang Posan and Wang Ba were both a little dumbfounded, but they didn't know what was written in the uncle's letter, which could make Liu Zhenfu change so much.

It turned out that Lian Zining did not blame Liu Liangchen in the letter, but knew his character very well, and knew that he would blame himself, so he comforted him for a while, so that he didn't have to think about it too much, just do things with peace of mind. And said that now he has a plan in his heart, and for the sake of insurance, he asked Wang Posan to bring a message back, and let him listen carefully to see if it may be successful. If it is successful, it will be carried out immediately, and if it is not successful, it will be carefully changed, and such things will be decided by him.

What Liu Liangchen is most worried about is that his uncle has removed his position, to put it bluntly, this person sounds good, he is a career-oriented strongman, if he is not allowed to do things, it is worse than killing him.

Liu Liangchen laughed for a while, the haze in his heart was gone, and he finally released all the depression in his heart these days, and suddenly smiled at Wang Posan: "Uncle, can you let you talk?" ”

Wang Posan nodded, and honestly repeated all the words that Lian Zining had told him before, if these words were spread outside, they would definitely cause a bloody storm, and even change the political pattern of the entire Ming Dynasty. If these words really get out, I'm afraid that Lian Zining will really be in trouble. …,

It's just that this remark, which can be said to be a big rebellion, or even a violation of the rules of officialdom, made the three people present listen to it, and their eyes lit up!

Needless to say, Liu Liangchen has been trying to make up for the mistakes of his work last time, and he is very eager to make a great contribution, and Wang Posan and Wang Ba are both from the border army, and they are not afraid of the character of veteran ruffians.

The three of them got together and deliberated carefully, all three of them were experienced and ruthless, and in a short time they came up with many ways to carry out the plan.

—————————— dividing lines————————

Seven hundred miles north of the Songhua River, Baiying Gorge.

It is even north of the Songhua River. It is the coldest region in this vast expanse of East Asia, let alone the Xiaoice period at this time.

It's more than October now, and it's only the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, but the temperature here is already around minus five or six degrees.

At this time, it was already unitary time, roughly the same as at five or six o'clock in the evening in the later generations, and the sun had already set behind the distant mountains. Twilight was falling, and the heavens and the earth were darkened with a gray color.

This vast land is now tinged with a faint whiteness. It was the frost that had condensed on the withered yellow weeds, and at first glance, it was extremely desolate.

Late autumn and early winter in the Northeast. The temperature drops very quickly, and it doesn't take long for the temperature to drop sharply, and the cold and humid air from the whale sea will also arrive, and the vast white snow will fall down, and the whole land will be plain white.

The 4th Guard and 10th Guards of the Wuyi Army, located at the mouth of the White Eagle Gorge, are still the same as they were at the beginning, with little change.

It's just that there were a lot of white tents at the beginning. Now they are gone, replaced by barracks one by one, not high, all bungalows. However, it is a solid house made of brick and stone, and it can withstand the extreme cold and heavy snow of the Northeast in winter.

In the middle of these barracks, not a single person could be seen, but from the chimneys of some barracks, curling smoke came out.

At this time, it was time for dinner, and the soldiers of Wu Yijun were all eating in the house. Except for the patrols that patrolled the camp and the city walls, there were really few people outside.

In the open area of the city, a huge granary was built, which was used to store surplus dried fish, animal meat, grain and other materials that could not be eaten, and around the granary, there were a lot of small pavilions, and in the middle of the stone platform under these small pavilions, but a big deep hole was opened, but this was a well. The edges around the well are all made of clean blue and white stones to rest, it is very regular, it is more than ten zhang deep, in fact, outside the mouth of the White Eagle Canyon is your man's river, there is no need to be so deep, a little more than a zhang will come out of the water, but at this depth, even in winter, the bottom will not be frozen. These wells, one is used to prevent you from freezing the river or when you can't go to the river to get water at the beginning of the war, and the other is to prevent the granary from catching fire, and it can be used to extinguish the fire nearby.

The tents had been replaced with solid and heavy barracks, and the granaries and wells had been built, so Wu Yijun was ready to stay here for a long time.

And this is exactly the case, after learning about the battle at the mouth of Baiying Gorge, Lian Zining ordered Chen Tong to bring his own order, and the most important one of the orders was one word: "Drag!" ”…,

In any case, no matter how provocative and clamoring the Jurchen army on the opposite side is, unless someone else comes in, they are absolutely not allowed to fight, Xia Zikai and Yang Husheng have only one task, that is, to start construction, and build this big city of the Wuyi Army at the mouth of the White Eagle Gorge into a thick and strong city! Build high walls, accumulate grain, avoid wars, and hoard grain and grass materials!

Lian Zining just gave this order, but he didn't explain why, after receiving the order, Yang Husheng and Xia Zikai were a little confused, it stands to reason that it is late autumn now, and this winter has to come, and in winter, the northeast is boundary, the flat land is covered with snow three feet deep, and it is difficult for the army to pull out, let alone fight, if you want to fight quickly, not only should you not avoid the war now, but you should take the initiative to seek war.

But they are all extremely loyal and admired by Lian Zining, and they know that Uncle You are definitely determined, and you are also faithful and very thorough in implementing it.

During this time, the tens of thousands of troops at the mouth of the White Eagle Gorge did nothing, and spent the whole day digging stones, cutting down large trees, digging clay, drying adobe, and building barracks. Yang Husheng even expanded the number of soldiers who fished in Youmanhe River to more than ten times every day, and a large number of fresh fish were slaughtered every day, and then salted or dried and stored.

And these days, the food stored by Wu Yijun is enough for the tens of thousands of troops of the fourth and tenth guards to survive this cold winter, and the city wall is even higher than one zhang and eight feet, more than two zhang thick, and it is even stronger and difficult to overcome.
